The wrong IP location you get from the IP check doesn’t matter. The data center is Frankfurt, only the geolocation is off.

Hi, I think you are mistaken about the ip address and geolocation not mattering. I decided late last night 03:00 AM to download the latest Liquidsky and install it and pay for the one time fee. Now the skycomputer did freeze while I was installing cfosspeed on it and I did have to restart it. After restarting it, I started chrome and went to beta.speedtest.net/ , I noticed right a way that the test server was out of Amsterdam. I live in Denton Texas, and was connected to the Dallas server. Before the crash I did a speed test and got high numbers, the test after the crash was around 35 Mbs . That’s when I decided to check the IP of the skycomputer. TraceIP.net said it had IP 169.48.109.4, and showed on a map someplace in Switzerland. After shaking my head at that I went to/whatismyipaddress.com and it said my IP address was also 169.48.109.4 But its map said I was in Amsterdam Netherlands. That IP number also caused Steam to use its server in the Netherlands to download from. When I exited from the skycomputer I use the home button, which brought me back to the Liquidsky client, where I verified that it said I was connected to the Dallas server. AT that point I closed down the skycomputer If I get the same tonight, I will delete the skycomputer and make a new one.and try again.

It’s just that most IP test programs/sites put you on the wrong server bc the IBM Softlayer IPs are wrongly geolocated.
Just select a server near your current data center manually. I’m on London data center for example, and speedtest.net keeps telling me I’m in Kansas. But when I chose a London test server, I get 2 ms ping.

Yeah, like you said. It does look like a steam issue. This is out of my scope as a moderator (we’re just regular users like you who help out the community wherever possible but don’t have access to any of the more technical tools).

and also consider opening a thread over on the Steam community/open a support ticket with Steam in case it is an issue solely with Steam (meaning this issue can occur on normal PC’s and not just one’s like Liquidsky).
